No, it really is Mid East, not Middle East.

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
 

Makes sense for him, at least from Americas view

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
 

well, at least he feels wanted, somewhere...

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
 

Great idea - particularly in Gaza, Basra, Sadr City, Fallujah, Helmand Province, Tehran, Mecca, Beirut, Tyre... - they're going to welcome him with open fire [shurely 'arms' - Ed.].

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
 

Why not? He appears to have been the Envoy to Tuscany for the past 10 years..

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
 

Good luck to him! :D

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
 

He's going to need it.. Is this before or after the trial? Perhaps that will be his community service!

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
 

For one awful moment I thought he might be coming to Cambridge...

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
 

I always suspected that he was going to stand down in enough time to become the United Nations Secretary-General - guess I was wrong.
..though in 5 years time maybe....

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
 

I would have thought Africa would be a lot better place for him than the Middle east. I guess N.Ireland and the fact he is the only one Bush seems to listain to are in his favor for the Israel issue.

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
 

Nah...

You've got to have a silly name to be UN Secretary General... ;)

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
 

Could you imagine Bliar as special envoy to Zimbabwe? :D

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
 

I wonder what his wife is going to do?

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
 

Funny, I'd have said that opening fire rather than opening negotiations was Blair's style as well. Maybe that's the new plan for the Middle East.

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
 

Thing is, what's Bush going to think of him after he becomes a catholic?

Or maybe that's the plan?
Bliar becomes catholic, brings the pope and catholic church on board against the middle east and we actually do have another crusade?
Maybe not.

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
 

Do you think he might have a little birthmark above his hairline? :D

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
 

Possibly, but it's more like 665 ;)

It's known that many in the US believe that in order to bring about the end of days (like that'd be a good thing) the temple must be rebuilt in Jerusalem.
Unfortunately, there's this big gold domed building there, can't think what it's for, but I reckon the users of said building might object to it being knocked down (ironic really considering the linking of christianity and islam) even if it is to fulfill a prophecy given by their god.

Course all that could be bunkum, with 666 being the number of Caeser Nero, who was also known as the beast.

Although, american's do seem to love Bliar, but then, all they've seen of him is support, they've not actually had to suffer under his leadership

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
 

Continue with high court legal job that she's had for the past 10 years? :dozey:

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
 

They might, but that doesn't preclude the possibility of it happening - it wouldn't the first time a large religious building on that site was demolished by an occupying power. ;)

Not that I'm condoning that in any way. In fact I think it's a bit daft that anyone would attempt to artificially bring prophesy to fulfilment. The Bible amply demonstrates that it is not necessary to give God a helping hand in that way.

The early Church would agree with you. In fact the church throughout the ages until comparitively recently was 'amillenial' in its interpretation of the Book of Revelation. The current fashion is American and is very much associated with certain streams of the Pentecostal movement over there (and now, by the usual process of West-East transatlantic osmosis, over here).

Indeed. And nor will they now either, it's the Middle East's turn to suffer. :disturbd:

And when she gets bored of that and charging extautionate amounts for dinner speaches, she can take up here position in the RoyalMail museum ;)

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
 

Come on guys i think its a great idea having tony bliar as a middle east peace envoy i mean look at the fantastic state the uk is in after having him lead us for ten years. He is a man with a very deep and committed belief in the international gravy train and will push himself to stop off as many times as he can before reaching the ultimate gravy destination the UN or as i like to call it the Unliked Nationals. Personally my only sadness that our hair trigger tony is going is that he isn't taking his pal gordon for a ride out of the uk as well.

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
 

Damn! Just remembered that many of the mid-east talks take place in Sharm El Sheikh.
There goes my usual holiday destination :(

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
 

Worried ? Rightly so I guess as which is the most likely candidate today to be the black prince ? It has been said it was G.W.Bush but as Mr Brown has taken over leadership of Britain by default & uncontested maybe he is an even closer candidate for the role.

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
 

Lets be honest blair as a middle east peace envoy is a complete joke surely they could have found a peace envoy that hadn't started a war in the region.
